Tam urges him to go to sleep. "That was a very good promise, dulcha... for it promises no more than you can truly give... now rest... sleep.... you look beat."

*Kero smiles*
You first, sira...you're beat too...and you've lost a lot of blood...
*Gently begins to sing...a song of peace that he remembers...because they need it more than anything now*

Tam looks down at his paws and grimaces. "Ye know...." he quips with a yawn... "Shar is going to have a field day with me... I think I did every no-no in the book tonight..."

*Kero gives a guilty smile*
So did I...and don't you dare just say I'm forgiven, Sira...I need to repay this...

Tam sighs..."Nope... this time I'm going to have to punish ye... sorry... but ye did stretch the limit of whats allowable and what's not by a million meters or so... at least ye didn't break it... but ye came close, kiddo... ye came close."

*Kero nods*
Very well. How long am I to be playing for them now?

Tam sighs, curling up around the younger lion and urging him to go to sleep. "I'm punishing ye this time, kiddo... not Shar... not Mica... not Hope... and we'll talk it over when we get back. I'm going to have to think about this one."

*Kero nods, curling up against him*
I trust you, sira...even if you don't trust me right now...and I can't blame you if you don't.
**Need to leave soon...Doctor's appointment in 25 minutes....**

Tam sighs into the cubs fur, willing Kero to go to sleep. With his paws burning as they do, he knows he won't be getting much rest. He considers shifting back then shudders. The pads on his paws were thick and slightly insensitive to pain. His hands and feet had no such protection. Besides the fur was allowing him a good deal more warmth right then than his shirt and pants. He lies there, wakeful and thinking, while the cub's breathing slowly evens out into a soft steady sleepy rumble. Smiling inwardly, despite the pain, Tam is glad he took the chance. He'd deal with the damage done to his wings, if damage was done, when the time comes. For now, he would simply deal, period. It felt good simply to lie there, next to his sometimes stubborn, oftentimes frustrating, best friend and cub. For a brief time there, he had feared he had honestly driven him over the edge.

*Kero's purrs soon take on a pleading tone...and Tam finds himself drawn into a dream...a strange one...in a familiar setting...a green glade, with crystals of all shapes and sizes and colors, growing everywhere, next to a sparkling pool...and a laughing cub, sitting, dangling his paw into the water and teasing the fish that swim there*

Tam curls up near the trees and watching from afar. Dreams such as this are private affairs in his book, but this one seems so innocent and free of worry he can't help but want to share, a little... But he refuses to intrude.

*Until Kero runs over and pulls him out, laughing....it's not the Kero he knows, either...this is the Kerobian of old...his hair down...laughing...playing...merely existing in the moment...a dream of peace for a youngling...until they both awaken, and Kero looks at Tam*
Sira...hold still...I have all my power back now...so...*He moves around, glowing gold, and heals Tam's paws, then takes them and teleports them home...landing very carefully outside the house, near the stream he uses to feed his running well*

Tam thanks him and leads him home. Of course they both get it when they enter the door. Shar has come down to check on Hopian and has stayed waiting, worried hapf to death about both of them.
"Kerobian vules Noctuslain,..." she begins as the cub walks in. Then she sees Tam and groans.
"You really don't want to fly again... do you, Master Talesian?"
Tam says nothing but goes to the kitchen and plops down next to the stove.

*Now Kero moves over next to Tam, gently massaging where his wings would be...golden power flowing out...not healing, but shifting...locking into place...the dead earth...the metals and stones...forming an internal cast of magic around the bone...steeling it in place and setting it up to heal properly...Kero turns to Shar*
Yes, Dawnmistress Sharmistra?

She looks at him and shakes her head. "What did you just do. I felt something, but couldn't follow it?" she demands testily.
